Pompey 0-4 Saints - Reaction


Lighthouse

Recommended Posts

Lad at work reckons quite a few went down with no tickets and managed to get 'herded' in, don't know how true this is

 

Heard that too from someone too, but no idea if it happened. Bloke said it was about 20 lads and they didn't want them hanging around outside so just put them in the ground.

I think the most pathetic part of all this is the News actually deeming this worthy of a news story, talk about trying to score points over any trivial thing. Mind you, how anyone could think about getting their phone out when that second goal went in...…….

 

Dont have any truck with it, they’re just trying to distract attention from the fact that we stuffed them 4-0 on their own patch. I don’t remember the News featuring that c**t Westwood ****ing on seats at St Marys back in 2012, or was he just flashing his little spratt to the Skate yoof!

There were loads without tickets, watch back the game for the first 20 mins the gangways are clear, once the special train finally arrived and we all got in the stand is packed including all gangways.

Top effort and support, can’t see any away game being as good as that for a while.

About 200 without tickets got in by all accounts! Certainly more then packed in that away end. Top atmosphere too from everyone.

 

There were some great stories too, particularly one lad who waded in (and didn’t get a scratch) before the game and lost both his shoes in the carnage. Walked around with trench foot for the rest of the night :lol:

 

Every single Portsmyth has been shattered, they are genuinely humiliated and don’t know what to do with themselves. Fantastic.

Wouldn't surprise me. I did exactly that in '04 when I was on a banning order. Train was delayed and I was part of the 300+ escorted to the ground and we got there 20 mins late, basically bundled my way in as 200+ angry Saints behind me. Easy. Game wasn't as good as Tuesday's though ;)

Yes I spoke to lads without tickets, could not get to my seat as they were all standing in the ilse, fair play to them. OWTS

 

Hope you complained to a steward. We can't have people standing where they want blocking others getting to their rightful seat.

 

I spent most of my time asking people in front to sit down while pointing out the terms and conditions on the back of the ticket which state no standing is allowed in seated areas.

 

As someone who paid hard earned money for my ticket I am disgusted that people got in for free. Disgraceful behaviour from our fans.

 

Roll on the day when the whole away end is full of people sat down vlogging the match from a phone on a selfie stick.

Take the **** all you want but if "200" (probably an exaggeration) got in without tickets, it raises serious safety concerns.

What's with the sarcasm? He said fairplay to them.

It wasn't towards him.

 

Aimed at the state of some of the modern fans, the ones who bring iPads to games, hold up signs asking for shirts and complain about people standing up.

 

Fortunately our end on Tuesday was largely devoid of them which meant the atmosphere was spot on. Nothing but praise from me for anyone who blagged their way in and gave everything to get behind the team.

On the topic of "modern fans" and the like, anyone see if any half and half shirts were on sale ?

 

Saints: Pompey on one side , Fakin' Scummaaahs : Skate C^nts on the other.

2012? Funny, that rumour was going around when I was at school and I left in 2006.

 

Easy to see why I often question whether this actually happened.

Correct. The same nght of the Ted Bates tribute which they couldn't respect. Why the OB didn't prosecute when thy had it all on film f'k only knows. He could have been done for under a number of offences, not least indecent exposure for getting his spratt out in front of minors. He's a freak.

They would be have had to lock him up

and the smell at the nick would have taken weeks to clear and the contamination risk to the officers would have been to great

I pity Westwood tbh. Imagine having such a deep love and obsession with a professional sports club which doesn't care if you live or die (other than your money). They probably value him a bit more than your average supporter because of how recognisable he is but that's about it. I love Saints a healthy amount. Not more than friends, family or even pets and appreciate it's very much a one way love.

 

I know Westwood must get recognised a lot but ultimately must live a very lonely life.

He got thrown out of a pub in Liverpool before a game against Everton for indecent exposure. He seems to have a habit of it.

The police let them in were serious safety concerns if they were left roaming around fratton while the match was on. As I said fair play to them for being brave enough to turn up in on a tues night at farton park with out a ticket. Also thought plod did a good job.

What’s all this on Twitter then about them piping crowd noise through the speakers on Tuesday? Surely not :lol:

 

Was definitely the case in the second half, you could hear TCWTB's Bell from the back of the Milton Road End, even though he was the opposite side of the ground in the Fratton End.

 

A few of their lot are claiming a microphone was left on "by accident" and it came over the tannoy, but i'm pretty sure we all know the truth...

So after all the hype no the dust has settled what are we actually left with? 20 minutes of huff and puff followed by 70 minutes of the easiest away win you could wish to see. A welcoming commitee as scary as a trip to MK Dons. Piping their own atmosphere through their PA system to make themselves look better. Outsung for 90 minutes by the 2,000 church mice from the family club down the road. The mighty 657 kept back from the saints firm by 2 foot fences and street curbs. All in all it couldn’t get more embarrassing for them. Let’s hope we draw them in the FA cup.

Oh dear, all that on top of a 4-nothing humiliation in their own backyard, this week really hasn’t gone well for ‘em, has it.

it did work for them as it kept the fans going on their monotonous chant. Of course Dsiney always amplify stuff and know that the background atmosphere is important, it would also enhance their fans for the TV audience.

I recall them saying to us we did the same in the past, strange, it must be common to do such things.

At Bournemouth they just use a feed of a pin drop

We used to do it in the Wilde/Crouch days, I remember being sat in the Chapel and hearing the Northam chanting directly in front of me and above me as well. Bizarre.

Never happened since, though.
